I made a photo album+scrapbook thing out of a de-assembled children's boardbook and some craft tissue paper. It turned out pretty cute, though not as nice I would have liked, but it was my first time. It was all a big experiment. I saw a book on it at the library and tried to make it work.
I also glued the front and back covers together so it makes a star shape instead of a book.

The hardest part was finding boardbooks at the thrift store that I wouldn't mind "de-assembling." It was so hard!

Anyways, I knitted an experimental dewback. He is a prototype that I am not 100% happy with (especially the tail. I re-did it twice and still not happy with it!) but he is still cute! He also doubles as a goanna when I show him to non-Star Wars fans (I just take off his saddle. ).

I took apart another baby board book and made it an album. This one was an anniversary gift. I took photocopies of old letters and painted them to match some paper I bought and made that the background for pictures of Mike and me.

I am knitting a stocking cap for my trip to New Zealand and mucked up. First I dropped a stitch at the very beginning and couldn't find it to fix so I tore it apart. It was annoying but I just started so it wasn't too big of a deal. But then I had an epic fail. I twisted something at the beginning and didn't notice it until a fourth of the way through. And I can't figure out how to fix it. So... just tore the freaking thing apart. Again. Stupid hat.
